I spent quite a lot of time trying to stop Beowulf from advancing pieces too much in the opening and early mid-game. I saw too many games where opponents took the advantage of chasing a piece around to develop their pieces and gaim many tempi. In addition, often the tactical problems are very deep and it's difficult to see that a piece is completely lost for quite some time. Having said that, I can get the latest build to consider the move Nxh7, sadly. Maybe I broke something? ;( Cheers, Col
